Day 4
Today was our food bank for the migrant worker camps!After loading all the donations we had gathered earlier into the cars, we were on our way to the church lot. We all helped to set up and picked jobs to do. Some played with the kids so the parents could get food from the stations. We saw Jesus in the small children who came to the food bank in place of their parents, who were working in the fields, and also in the hard workers in the group.
Even though the well-awaited ice cream man did not come, we all had a wonderful time because we all knew that we worked hard!

Day 5
Today our catholic social teaching, or CST, was Life and Dignity of the Human Person.
This teaching really shined through as we progressed through the day. Our day began with going through different neighborhoods, and passing out flyers that had the information of next weeks food bank. Although we wont be participating, we showed our support for next weeks food bank. After a few fun fill hours at the pool we went to a migrant camp and had a delicious barbecue with all the family and children of the migrant workers. Between soccer and dodge ball we really had a good time with these amazing people, and with that good time came an understanding of the dignity of the human person.
Love Billy and Hudson
